Liam Gill to replace injured Derek Livingston as lone Canadian in men's snowboard halfpipe
CBC
Canada's Derek Livingston will not compete in men's snowboard halfpipe at the Beijing Olympics after sustaining a lower-body injury during a recent training run.
The 18-year-old Gill, who learned he was moving from alternate to Olympian only days before the team charter left for Beijing, will be the second-youngest member of the Canadian snowboarding contingent.
Livingston said he is "devastated" that he won't be participating in the Games but is excited that Gill gets an opportunity.
Gill, a member of the Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation in Fort Simpson, N.W.T., is the only Indigenous athlete on the Canadian snowboard team.
